It's probably safe to call this structure that I found near Montezuma, Colorado a kiln, but even though the pointed steel cap and the evenly spaced holes are pretty good clues, I still have no idea what was manufactured in it. #colorado #history #photography #ruins

Finding abandoned harvesting equipment on land that doesn't look very good for farming usually means there was a homestead nearby, which was the case in this valley near Aspen Park, Colorado. #colorado #artifacts #history #photography

When I first moved to Boulder, Colorado, I hiked most of the trails and climbed all of the peaks west of town, yet for some reason I never bothered with the Royal Arch, and now that I've seen it I'm glad I did. #colorado #scenery #photography

This rock formation southwest of Denver, Colorado not only provides a back wall to an old cabin, but also preserves it by protecting it from the elements. #colorado #ruins #scenery #history #photography

Even though they occasional get washed clean by flooding, the canyons north of Loveland, Colorado are still well populated by hearty trees and bushes. #colorado #scenery #photography

This steam hoist north of Leadville, Colorado seems to have been improvised in many ways, which makes me wonder how many times it came close to blowing up while in operation. #colorado #artifacts #history #photography

For a long time I didn't bother adjusting my hiking schedule to accomodate shorter days, which often meant walking in the dark, but there were some benefits, like this view of Torreys Peak from a ridge west of Silver Plume, Colorado. #colorado #scenery #photography

Judging by the size of the trees growing inside, the roof on the right side of this cabin I found northwest of Como, Colorado, must have failed soon after the site was abandoned, and yet the left side is still holding up pretty well. #colorado #history #photography #ruins

There are more lily flowers in this pond near Leadville, Colorado than I've ever seen in one place, but as is always the case, I couldn't get very close, so next time I'll probably have to consider getting wet. #colorado #scenery #flowers #photography

If this wheel was sitting in a pile of junk, or even still fastened to a farm tractor, I wouldn't have thought much of it, but because I found it in a valley near Central City, Colorado, I can't help but wonder if it's actually a wheel. #colorado #history #artifacts #photography

Snooping around in an old building would normally be a priority for Kali, but on this late spring day, while exploring the high mountains east of Breckenridge, Colorado, sliding around on a crusty snow bank was irresistible. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #scenery #history #ruins #photography

On my second visit to this cabin, which is on the western ridge of 14,265 foot Quandary Peak near Breckenridge, Colorado, I found that in the years since I had first been there, it had collapsed, leaving nothing but a pile of broken boards. #colorado #history #photography #ruins
